While the night stretch black over me br and in the dark sky I see countless lights br burning high, br I thank the God that made me free br to choose which light to follow as a guide. br br In dark circumstance and whatever fate brings, br destiny and chance do not conquer br and I still rise wiser br to life and its things br br and my will remains free br to decide where my words br and actions belong br whether they are right or wrong br and to no human I bend a knee br and in all things I only answer to Him br who Captain’s me. br br [References: Invictus by William Ernest Henley and The Soul’s Captain by Orson F.
